It’s happened to the best of us -- whether you’re juggling too much in your hands or you stand up forgetting it’s in your lap -- when your smartphone screen breaks, a little bit of your heart breaks too.

Today’s smartphones have a tendency to let us down because -- among other things -- they’re incredibly fragile. More than half (53%) of global smartphone owners have shattered their screens, and one-in-five (21%) global smartphone owners are currently living with a broken smartphone screen1.

With our new Moto ShatterShield technology, you’ll never have to fear the dreaded drop or have to deal with the expensive hassle of having to replace a busted screen again, thanks to an integrated system of five layers specifically designed to absorb shock and never shatter.

It starts with a rigid aluminum core that provides structural integrity and durability.

On top of that, we’ve added in a stunning AMOLED flexible display. Using a flexible display absorbs shock and makes it possible to flex during a drop versus breaking like most screens.

Then, a dual touch layer with redundancy was created to help it survive accidents. Often, after a drop, the touch layer can go bad and your touch doesn’t work as well. So we‘ve added a failsafe mechanism.

The next layer is the interior lens which provides a clear protective shield that won’t crack or shatter.

Lastly, we topped it off with an exterior lens that has a unique hardcoat that helps protect the display against normal wear and tear.

All of this amounts to unprecedented durability and protection from those everyday accidents. To learn more about how Moto ShatterShield was made, check out the video below:
